The last time we were in California we packed in as much as we could, filling eight days with countless miles and memories.

Two days isn't enough to see everything Yosemite has to offer. I don't think there is enough time to see it all; to sit and watch the change of seasons and each the beautiful sunset.
Mono Lake - Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area, California
We stood at the edge of the lake, clouds moving over the sun, the light coming and going, shimmering on the water.

A list of the gear I carry with me everyday.

THERE IS NOTHING PRETTIER IN THE WORLD

Showman's Rest - Hugo, Oklahoma
There's a lot of personality here and I loved the unique headstones. I loved the little bits of story and reading about the person's life. One of my favorites had Give life the best that's in you for it's only a one night stand there are no repeat performances brought back by popular demand.
